When she invokes her S Beam, my LGOG vibrates, but nothing happens. Same thing when we try with my N7. My N7 has actually sent her something, but I haven't been able to receive anything from her on either device. Is there another app we should be using?

You don't have s beam. Use android beam on both devices. Far as I know your Sol on pictures and video sharing until jb.
Ok, well, Bump worked; for anyone else out there looking for a solution. But good to know it'll work on JB.

Here's what I've tried
I tried using NFC from my LGOG to my wife's SGS3,
I was not able to do photos, but my be able with wifi direct. I am going to play with it some more.
I was able to do the following transfers through NFC:
1) a contact
2) a web url
3) a youtube video and it started where I "bumped" the phones.

I have only been able to get video up by opening the streaming link via browser. However, it was too laggy even on a good WiFi connection to make it watchable. Not sure why. I tried it in 2 different browsers with no real luck.
The app is disappointing. Amount of compatible devices is really weak. I emailed them a few times and all they said was "There are too many Android devices and we can't test them all" which is really just a load of bull. Plenty of video apps out there that run on tablets, phones, etc. without issue.
Too bad considering the Flyer is a great size screen for streaming that type of stuff.
hate to say it but the stream works well on my iphone.... yuck. atleast I was able to get a free account
It streams great from my phone ( T-Mobile G2) but I can't place it on my desk comfortably
This sucks, my tablet has better specs than my phone UGH
Is there anyway to get T-Mobile TV to work for the note? I downloaded the app from the play store however when I open it, it says not compatible with your device. I know their are a lot of T-Mobile users and was wondering do any of you guys have this working. Or is there any possible way to get this to work?
Thanks

It only works on certain T Mobile devices. Also there is SD and HD shows that are also only able to be viewed on certain devices. Most standard def channels can be watched on all the devices that T Mobile TV works on but the HD channels can only be watch on a few devices as of now. I doubt we will get this working on an AT&T Note. There is a list on the T Mobile site that will show you all the devices the app will work on.
Maybe a build.prop change that makes it look like one of the approved devices.

Ah okay that sucks just thought it'd be a neat thing to have to watch some random shows when I was bored. A build prop change seems too much of a hassle for this small thing plus it might cause some other apps to stop working.

I wanted to show off the cool features of our phones when my girlfriend brought home her GS3. I pulled out my GNex to beam a photo I had taken earlier, and a notification popped up on my GNex saying the receiving device couldn't accept large files through Beam... Really? What's the point if a pic is too big? That means a video is right out of the question, and I was under the impression that that's what this whole Beam thing was about... Am I missing something? (yes to all your prelim questions too: NFC on, on both, beam on, blah blah...)
NFC transfers data at such a slow, miniscule rate that even a picture would take too long. The point of Beam is to share things like web pages and directions via maps.

Yeah, that's why Samsung developed S Beam which does the actual transfer using wifi direct.

yea i tried that too, needs to use same wifi network to transfer files
GNex doesn't have S Beam.

The GNex does have wifi direct capabilities though, doesn't it? Is there a way to connect a GNex and gs3 that way to do a large file nfc transfer?

Hardware-wise more or less every phone has it.
Software-wise you're right.

Just use Wifi Direct or Bluetooth without NFC?

Yeah, I guess that makes sense to work. It just defeats the beam purpose that way. Does anyone know if s-beam will install on the GNex like s voice did? Or is that a hardware issue?

Sbeam uses nfc to make the connection and Wi-Fi direct to send the files, only two s3s can currently use s beam

The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update, which will be coming to Google Nexus soon (and Galaxy S3 apparently in Q4 of 2012), has an improved version of Android Beam that will utilize both NFC and Bluetooth (similarly to how S Beam uses NFC and Wi-Fi Direct) to be able to send larger files, which would really make S Beam redundant. So yes, it is possible, and it will come in a future update; I don't know if there exists any current alternatives at the moment, though (maybe install a custom Jelly Bean ROM when they start popping up?).
That ad where the wife shares videos using NFC is insanely misleading then. I don't really care anyways, can't see myself using this function for anything useful anyways.

You revived a really old thread, but that commercial is not that misleading. NFC is just used to start the initial connection (as Lennyuk stated 2 posts above yours) and wifi is used to transfer the actual files.
Ok so I am trying to send a picture to a Samsung g3 via Android beam and it would send? It sends Internet pages and apps but it wound send a picture... It makes the sound but does not do anything else?
Now when I try to send a pic from the g3 to my phone the g3 makes the nosie and shrinks the pic down and says tab to send.. But once you tap it it acts like it sends but it does not send...
Any ideas?

I don't think NFC can transfer 2mb+ but somebody correct me if ok wrong. It is used to transfer information like contacts,apps,web pages,YouTube links

Android Beam doesn't send photos via NFC in ICS. That was a feature added in JB. Once we get the Jelly Bean update on our phones, it should work. I think it should work if your phone is running CM10.
Thanks guys.

If the item keeps shrinking and does not send, it is usually because the NFC antennas are not lined up correctly. I assume the GS3's NFC is at exactly the middle and ours is about 1/3 down from the top, so remember to pull the Evo LTE down a bit. Android beam seems to send anything Google apps related well, but nothing else (it will just send the receiver to the play store page). The only things that send reliably for me are contacts. Pictures never seem to send well. It just makes the connection sound but doesn't give me an option to send anything.

I wonder if he paired with blutooth first then used NFC? I would like to know how also
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
As far as I know, Android Beam is not capable of transferring large files. It only utilizes the NFC capabilities of the phone, so it is limited to small files, such as webpage links, app links, playlists, etc. The app on the GS3 utilizes the Wi-Fi in conjunction with the NFC to allow for the transfer of large files.
Down load bump from market . Works great . I'm sending things to my girls LG viper running ics as of 2 data ago

basicly what the gs3 does is when u use the NFC to send picture it actually links the phone via WiFi direct and send the file that way.

i was fighting with the LGOG and a Nexus S earlier today on the same thing.
the only thing that NFC seemed to communicate was that i was using FileExpert and it sent the NexusS to google app store so i could download it.
was unable to send pictures or files from the LGOG to the Nexus S.
they didn't seem to connect properly.
LGOG is running Base v.5
Nexus S is running CM10
You can send links and basic text between WP and android, but not pictures
Full pictures can only be between android and android or WAP and WP

Yup, tried NFC out with my E970 and a S3 and I couldn't send or receive pictures. Web links and everything else worked fine.
I think what is the limitation is with JB they increased the size you can send hence pictures. This is all from the back of my mind from quick forum glances but I'm pretty sure that's why. Get aokp, cm10, or an official stock JB rom and you shouldn't have issues anymore.
